Sport mode has a more aggressive throttle profile amongst other things but specific to your thoughts yes it would be more snappy.I have been thinking about your response for a while. I have a stick. I sometimes get into snow and ice when driving over roads. Slippery mode works great. But I think you are right, that pushing the 4A button is easier than finding the right GOAT mode and also solves the problem.
I have driven 10k miles in this rig and I do use Baja mode on the beach. When the front camera comes over the big screen, it's cool. But on trails, I'm controlling the transfer case and the diffs myself.
But here's what I am wondering. I'm interested to know if Sport mode is going to give me more pop (even with my man trans). They talk about remapping the throttle response. Is that the same thing or different than the shift points on the automatic?
I have seen a video for a piece of hardware that plugs into the loom and supposedly makes the throttle more responsive. I could see how with a drive by wire throttle, you could map different levels of input do different things with the intake. That's what I'm wondering about. Because if Sport mode makes my 2.3 more snappy on the throttle, the kid in me is kind of interested.
There isn’t any extra power or anything it’s just multiplying your input a bit. Exactly the same as what these pedal commanders do but with a factory warranty and no plugging in things. Granted they do offer more variability.
